Hey guys! I'm taking over Stanley's blog for today to let you all in on a little game I'm playing with Mackenzie, the Yankees pup. As some of you may already know, I am a HUGE Red Sox fan (just like my dad), and I keep a blog on the MLB page all about the game of baseball from a dog's point of view. Well, this Mackenzie has challenged me to put everything I've got into my team and make a wager...

It's the Yankees versus the Red Sox. Both teams play in the American League and only one team can make it to the top of the AL East in September. We each need our fellow baseball dogs to sign up and pledge their allegiance to either the Red Sox or the Yankees. When the AL East winner is determined, the losing team of pups must post pictures of themselves wearing the opposite team's gear. Oh the horror! That means I'll have to take off my rally gear and put on a Yankees cap!

All you need is a dog with a blog and some serious love for your team. If you'd like to participate, please post a comment here or on my MLB blog. State your name, link to your blog, and of course - you must let us know if you're a Red Sox or Yankees fan!

This can be a great way to gain some blog readers, make some new dog buddies, and have a good laugh when your team wins and there are lots of angry pups donning your team's gear. We'll follow-up in June with an update and some more info for you all. And if you know of a dog baseball fan out there, feel free to let them in on the game! The more pups the better.

And don't forget... baseball games are an excellent feasting opportunity!

Stanislaw has to make a quick note:

Holy guacamole humans! Can we PLEEEEEASE move here? It's an apartment/condo building developed by Amacon, that includes a dog park on the 8th floor along with a bathing station and park benches for owners to kick back and watch their pups play.

If only I knew where it was so that I could mark it and call it my own...

About Stanislaw

Hi, my name is Stanislaw and I'm a 5(ish) year old rescued cocker spaniel who eats an entirely raw diet. Some people call this diet "B.A.R.F." or "Prey Model", but I call it awesome. In fact, I'm feasting on a raw turkey neck right now. My blog chronicles my experiences with the raw diet and treatment for Canine Compulsive Disorder, and offers a peek into holistic pet care.

About Big Pupi

Heya feaster dudes. I'm Big Pupi - Stanislaw's brother-through-adoption. I am a 10(ish) year old rescued cocker spaniel and I am also a raw feaster extraordinaire. Stanislaw often lets me chime in on the blog to discuss the more science-y stuff, (I am the brains behind the operation after all), and at times I'll let you in on a little about my work as a therapy dog. Hope you enjoy our tasty posts!

Feasting Facts

My people are not experts, vets or scientists. The purpose of this blog is to describe my experience throughout my introduction and life on the raw diet. This is not medical advice. This is about fun and feasting on chicken wings.

Allergies and Intolerances

What makes a homemade diet so great? Not only is it without cheap fillers and chemicals, but it can be modified to fit any dog with any kind of food allergy or intolerance. Look at Pupi's and my lists of off-limit foods:

These items used to make our tummies sad, cause chronic ear infections, or make us itchy all over. But now that our diet is so simple to control, our humans can ensure that we never get these offending foods. Removing reactive items makes your immune system stronger, and makes for a healthier pup. Plus, by rotating proteins you can actually control your reactions, which for us meant that we could once again include poultry in our diet. As long as we don't get it more than once or twice a week, we're fine! Pretty amazing, right?
